Squares

"What attracts people most, it would appear, is other people."- William H. Whyte

Squares are time-honored places around which whole neighborhoods and cities in every culture have developed. A movement is now afoot to re-establish public squares as major destinations where civic life flourishes.

PPS works with communities to develop placemaking plans for public squares that identify activities and destinations that attract people. We also help identify key partners for implementation, funding, creating programs and managing squares.LEARN MORE
